Chapter 5: Demonic Beasts
Xiao Fan's current expression was hard to interpret with words, between confused, happy, and sad. He had just listened to a long explanation from Xin Yuyue, which made him even more curious about the outside world.
”Because I have answered all your questions, now answer my questions. Who are you exactly?” Xin Yuyue asked.
”I told you, I'm just a regular cultivator.” Xiao Fan shook his head slowly.
Xin Yuyue naturally did not accept it. Xiao Fan's words seemed to humble himself, as cultivators as strong as Xiao Fan in the younger generation could only be found in large sects even starry sects.
”If you don't trust me... But at least take care of your friend.” Xiao Fan turned his head in the other direction, Xin Yuyue also followed.
It turned out that Qin Yizhung had just come to his senses, and when he woke up he directly directed his killing lust at Xiao Fan and Xin Yuyue.
”He's not my friend.” Xin Yuyue took a step back, while Xiao Fan was still unmoved in place.
”It turns out you're alive, I thought you'd die after receiving my Red Fist.” Qin Yizhung chuckled, but his laughter stopped when he felt the pain running through his body.
Hurriedly, he took a sitting position cross-legged then took out a jade bottle containing a healing pill. After emptying him he meditated to heal his wounds.
Xin Yuyue had intended to attack Qin Yizhung right then and there, but Xiao Fan stopped her and asked her not to worry.
”Sial, I was last night and was just lucky to beat them...If he really returns to his peak strength then I'm finished.” Behind Xiao Fan's calm face at this moment, he also felt the same way as Xin Yuyue. But for ten thousand Credit Points he would do anything.
”You better recover yourself first...Let me take care of him.” Xiao Fan said as he signaled Xin Yuyue to exit his house right now.
Xin Yuyue nodded then stepped away, leaving Xiao Fan and Qin Yizhung both. But it was only a short while after Xin Yuyue left, Qin Yizhung spewed fresh blood from his mouth with an expression of astonishment.
”Why is qi here thin once?!” He scrunched his forehead. Because of the sheer qi in this place, Qin Yizhung estimated that he could only use no more than a quarter of his original strength.
Qin Yizhung was too focused on recovering himself to the point of not realizing that Xiao Fan was already standing before him.
”It is only fitting that you dare to act recklessly in the face of the enemy, it turns out that there is a layer of energy protecting you.” Xiao Fan could feel a thin barrier as he tried to touch the air around Qin Yizhung.
Qin Yizhung only realized when Xiao Fan finished his words, he looked at Xiao Fan sharply before stepping back.
”Who are you?” Qin Yizhung still looked relaxed, but both of his hands were already enveloped by the reddish energy. Prepare to attack Xiao Fan.
Once again Xiao Fan raised both hands and smiled kindly, he then tried to persuade Qin Yizhung to settle all of this peacefully. But Qin Yizhung refused to hear Xiao Fan, then launched a few consecutive blows that Xiao Fan could fortunately avoid despite the slight hassles.
”Padalaah I have given the opportunity to make peace.” Xiao Fan's gaze turned cold, he had been patient enough with Xin Yuyue earlier, but this Qin Yizhung instead made his patience run out.
Xiao Fan pulled out his sword then started to attack Qin Yizhung back. Each of his sword attacks was extremely difficult to predict and sharp, leaving Qin Yizhung overwhelmed.
”What the hell, this guy doesn't even use qi to fight me?!” Inner Qin Yizhung, he felt humiliated by Xiao Fan for not using qi at all to fight him, even though Xiao Fan did not know how to drain qi outside his own body.
”Let me guess. Right now you can't even use five percent of your strength?” Xiao Fan smiled faintly then dodged the tread attack that Qin Yizhung had launched.
Fortunately Xiao Fan studied one of the Four Matchless Manuals, which made the qi within his body purer, so he could have fought a cultivator with a higher level of practice than him. So even though Xiao Fan was still at Forging Qi level 1, he could face a Forging Qi cultivator level 3 even 4.
After exchanging dozens of moves, Xiao Fan finally came out victorious and Qin Yizhung once again lost his consciousness.
[Special Quest is successful! The prize has been received]
Xiao Fan smiled before walking out of his house. Outside it turned out that there was already Xin Yuyue sitting cross-legged on one of the large stones, Xiao Fan only noticed her before re-entering her house.
**
Several days had passed since the day of his second arrival. At first they were hostile towards each other, to the point that even a small thing could make Xin Yuyue and Qin Yizhung have a big fight.
But today, the two suddenly came to Xiao Fan who was cultivating and asked him to escort them back to his sect. In addition, the two also complained about the condition of the Eternal Night Island which is always night.
Halfway through the journey, Xin Yuyue always complained about her aching leg. It was understandable, they had been walking for several hours, but the end of the place had not yet been seen.
Their journey was not easy, every few moments there would be a Demonic Beast attacking the three. Most Demonic Beasts that attacked Xiao Fan's entourage were at Forging Qi level 1, and there were some that were up to level 5. Fortunately the combination of the three was more than enough to defeat all of them.
”What the heck..” Qin Yizhung's eyes widened in shock when he saw the boundless darkness before him.
Xin Yuyue also showed the same reaction. Only Xiao Fan still looked ordinary, as he had already learned from the beginning that the Eternal Night Island was the Sacred Realm.
”System, is there a way to get out of this place?” Xiao Fan asked the System.
[Actually every Sacred Realm has a way out, only the way out is different for each Sacred Realm. For the Eternal Night Island, it seemed like it had to kill the entire Demonic Beast that was within it]
Xiao Fan nodded in understanding, then came to Xin Yuyue and Qin Yizhung who were trying to find a way out.
”With my full strength though, it will be difficult to scratch this barrier. At the very least, it should be in the Nascent Soul realm to break through it.” Qing Yizhung let out a long sigh.
”We'd better get back now...Soon it will rain.” Xiao Fan pointed at the wisp of dark clouds above the sky.
The two looked at each other then followed Xiao Fan from behind. They rushed over as it would take at least a few hours to arrive at Xiao Fan's house at their current speed.
”Hei! Where are you?!” Due to the increasingly dark conditions, Xin Yuyue was up to the trouble of seeing Xiao Fan Qin Yizhung's whereabouts. By the time he could already see back, there were already dozens of Demonic Beasts surrounding him.
On the other hand, Qin Yizhung also experienced the same thing, he lost track of Xiao Fan and Xin Yuyue due to the darkness of the night. And when the moonlight had already appeared again, there were already dozens of Demonic Beasts surrounding it.
While Xiao Fan himself experienced something not much different, the difference this time was that he was only confronted by two wolf-shaped Demonic Beasts that exuded strength equivalent to a level 8 Forging Qi.
”It looks like this will be a little difficult.” Xiao Fan instantly drew his sword and stared at the two Demonic Beasts in turn, before he darted towards the two.
